Abstract

In an electronic ultrasonic volume throughput meter for fluid media, a pulse generator (14) generating a frequency (f0) repeatedly triggers a measuring cycle which consists of a transmitting phase, a receiving phase and a calibration phase during which a change-over switch (18) exhibits different positions (a, b, c). When activated by a control element (9), a pulse generator (43) generates a measuring pulse which can be switched to at least one of the measurement transducers (6, 7) by the change-over switch (18) in its third switch position (c). A counter (42) starts due to the rising edge of the measuring pulse generated by the pulse transmitter (43), after the start counts the number of wave trains of a frequency (f2) sent by a scanning generator (11) and stops due to the rising edge of the measurement pulse received after it has passed through a measuring tube (2) from one of the measurement transducers (6, 7). The result of the count (NT) is proportional to the velocity of sound (vs). The pulse generator (14) is activated via a squaring element (51) by the result of the count (NT) of the counter (42), and this varies the frequency (f0) of the pulse generator (14). As a result, the velocity of sound (vs) is taken into consideration in the measurement of the volume throughput. <IMAGE>
